After reading the last pages, I must say that I couldn't play without the voice acting in TNM.

Almost every other mods for DX are so 'quiet' with only text for the characters. That may appear strange, but in a DX mod, I can't stand it (in a NWN mod, I don't mind it).

So, even if I can enjoy 'quiet' mods with a lot of efforts, I really prefer the loud ones. And even if it seems to me that the PDX armory guy's voice lacks emotion (that's my only real 'complaint', so to speak), voice acting is part of my TNM addiction. Definitly.

Ok, now i have to put my two cents in.
I really like the voice acting. It's highly professional trough most of the characters.
Especially i liked (next to the superior Trestkon): Beeblequix (i hope that spelling is correct) and Scara B. King. Brilliant!

And besides: no good voice acting without good conversations!
Beeblequix talking about rat-recipes - gorgeous!!

Finally, someone who appreciates Beeble as much as I do! He's one of my favourite characters, his lines about Fauntroy are golden :mrgreen:

I thought it was clever having Beeblequix talking over the lava cavern as it FORCED me to listen to that little gem. I showed it to my friends and it got them hooked.

"..and boy, can you eat them..." :mrgreen:

I too would like to commend Beeblequix on a job well done. I"d also like to acknowledge Chris Zito and Mr Costello for some pretty top notch voice acting. When Evil requested i take down black ice i really felt invested in his regret. That doesn't happen to me too often.

I have to admit I felt a bit ashamed of my actions when Phas gave me a dressing down in his apartment, superb bit of VA there. :D

For future projects..If you need any Pakistani voice samples, im up for it. Pakistani english isnt the stereotypical kind youd hear in movies and mainstream media. Its just..Non-british and non-american. Its almost accent-less. Well for me it would be. :/

Be warned, getting voice recordings may involve Jonas bringing a mike to your house. HE KNOWS WHERE WE LIVE.

Though as I recall, it was actually pretty awesome.

I'm shocked you recall anything at all. I've never seen so much beer in one place outside of a university party!

To be honest, I'm just sorry I didn't give Jonas more of a 'citywide tour', since we didn't have much time and I was more on the path of "play gaemz and drink lotz lol", whereas perhaps some actual tourism would've been apt.

Though the weather was shit.

...though it is manchester, so that's basically default.


But anyway, I reckon a huge HDTP meetup thingy should be done at some point, so that'll be another excuse to get him over here. And Phas, and Metche (who is virtually NEXT DOOR, so has no excuse).
